WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

From our regular correspondent.
Secretary Lamar's decision refer
ring to settlement of the indemnity
lands that were granted by Congress
to the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
Company has come to be regarded
as political deal, designed for the
double purpose of helping the wan
ing fortunes of Cleveland and CON
ciliatiug the settlers upon public
lands, whom the ruinous and short
sighted policy of Commissioner
Sparks has offended almost beyond
measure. That the railroad and the
others affected by the order will not
surrender without great fight is
clear, and so the misguided settlers
who squat" upon these lauds will
tind TO their sorrow that they have
become involved in intermiuable
litigation with wealthy corporations.
But, what cares Cleveland for the
woes of the poor squatters, if he
can only make some cheap political
capital that will temporarily serve
his purpose in ambitioning a second
term.
The report of the appointments
of postmasters during this admins
tration shows that the Democratic
spoilsmen have gained a rich har-
vest in this field of "reform." 1t
shows that for the last fiscal year,
3,04S new post-ofiices were estab-
lished; number discontinued, 500;
appointments on designations and
commissions expired, 1868; on re-
removals and suspensions, 1854; on
changes of names and sites, 4S2;
on deaths of postmasters, $50. The
whole number of appointments of
postmasters If all grades during the
year was 1909. The total number
of appointments for the years 1885
and 1856 was 22,747 and 9,447, re-
spectively, making total 4G,37s for
the three years. This is a pretty
near approach to clean sweep, and
the few Republicans who are still
in Office will likely have to go out in
another year.
The cordial endorsement Of Mr..
Blaine by the Pennsylvania Repub-
lican State Convention Is received
with great satisfaction by a host of
his ardent admirer. al the Capital,

IN BRIEF, AND 10 TIE POINT.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t
Is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food. sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry,
late hours, irregular habits, and
many other things which ought not
to be, have made the American peo-
pie a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reform
ing this sad business aud making
the American 50 healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptio. Ask your druggist

Did The indian Lie?

An old settler of Winnebago
County says that in 1910 an aged
Winnebago Indian informed him
that when his grandfather was a
boy there was for a period of
three years drought of such sever
ity that all the inland lakes of Wis
consin became dry, excepting the
Fourth lake at Madison; that Rock
river became dry from its source
through all the country occupied by
the Winnebagoes, and that all the
large game, including the buffalo,
died of thirst. The tribe, all con.
oentratiug about Fourth Lake, were
saved. The truth of this legend
cannot be youched for, but 1t is an
appropriate matter for consideration

UNLESS we are badly mistaken
this part of the country is very well
supplied with horses During the
past month no less then three herds
from Montana have passed through
here, from each of which a number
were taken; Irv Rowe has disposed

and last Tuesday night three car
loads more came from the same

several were disposed of. They

JOHN CowI:N, an old-time Balti-
more Democrat and leading mem
Der of the bar, entered the Mary
land Republican State convention
during its session last week and
announced his determination to
support the ticket that should be
nominated. He denounced the plat
form and action of the recent
Maryland Democratic convention as
in coDtravention of reform pledges
and the plighted faith of Cleve-
lands ADMINISTRATION. If there is a
section of the Democratic party
more corrupt than another it is the
Maryland section. OF course, one
man counts but little at the ballot
box. Yet there must be a move
ment of great significance in pro
gress at the South when the Demo
cratic majority in Kentucky falls off
one half on the largest vote ever
cast, and when Democrats like
Judge Cowen, who have been great
party leaders, come out OF the
Democratic party and denounce it.

LAST Sunday the fish in Rodolf's
mill pond began coming to the
shore in swarms, where in their
struggles to get out of the water they
would soon die. This continued
until Tuesday, when it seemed as if
there were none left to die. Tues
day we were at the pend, the sight
begears description, the shore was
lined with dead fish Of all shapes
and sizes, even the crawfish were
out on the sand by the hundreds,
many of which were dead. Fifty
wagon loads would not haul them
away. There are many theories
afoat as to the cause, but the most
plausible one is, that during the
dry, hot summer, the valley and
marshes above were filled with some
poisonous growth, that with the
recent floods was carried into the
pond and poisoned the water

ment. The secretary has also
given an English company the prize
of $4,000 authorized by Congress
